Well I don't think that day will ever come. I think this thread alone has illustrated how strongly people feel about their right to bear arms, and I don't see that ever changing.

I agree (sorry), there are plenty of things that can be done besides banning guns to help improve the situation, but it does seem like the NRA piss and moan every single time someone suggests implementing changes, and they normally get their way.
